Huntsman introduces SHOKLESS, a series of new lightweight, durable polyurethane foam technologies to its battery solutions portfolio.

Huntsman’s SHOKLESS polyurethane foam is used for the potting and fixation of cells mounted in EV batteries.

The new range has been developed for the potting and fixation of cells mounted in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. It also includes products that can be used as a moldable encapsulant in battery modules or packs.

The new solutions provide thermal as well as structural protection at a cell, module or pack level. With robust mechanical properties, the new SHOKLESS systems offer outstanding compression and tensile performance with high elongation to failure. Elastic performance can remain stable at different operating temperatures ranging from -35°C to 80°C.

SHOKLESS polyurethane systems also features fast processability, with low viscosity and ability to cure quickly at low temperatures.

The solutions are generally compatible with different manufacturing methods such as open- and closed-pour (injection) and cold-cure molding. Certain products in the range can also be dispensed with high pressure equipment.

Huntsman also offers simulation and modeling capabilities that can help customers customize and optimize processing parameters, as well as the structural and thermal performance of the SHOKLESS system.
